Defending Champions Brazil are very confident going into their 2nd straight Copa America finals but up against them will be highly motivated Argentina. Brazil has looked watertight in the tournament so far and has conceded just 2 goals so far. Neymar will once again be in the spotlight and will be aiming to win his maiden Copa America title as he missed out on the last edition due to an injury. The 9-time winners will have the home advantage as the match will be played at the iconic Maracana stadium in Rio. Argentina on the other hand will be hoping to break that final jinx as they have lost their last 4 finals of Copa America. Messi's maiden silverware in the continental championship will be a big motivation for the 14-time winners. With 4 goals in the tournament, Messi is almost certain to win the Golden Boot but that won't be the only trophy he will be targeting.
